I highly enjoyed this sci-fi romance set during a futuristic space war. I usually have high expectations of books in the genre, and although the start of this story didn't wow me, the plot and characters grew stronger and stronger with each chapter. I could not put the book down.

It does have a few themes that some romance readers might not like, but those were not a problem to me. I even liked the father-son sub plot, even though family themes aren't something I usually enjoy. The best part was the excellent tension between various characters, and the thrill of the space war events.
